Make up for ever : HD Invisible Cover foundation

Grace @ No.21Monday, June 24, 2013

I
have never used Make Up For Ever's foundation and this is my first ever
experience. First of all, in my opinion, $42 is pretty expensive for a
one foundation and always scared that I wouldn't like it after the
purchase. Moreover, I use up my foundations or tinted moisturizers
pretty quickly so in this case, the price does matter and affect my
decision. Thankfully, I got this one as a gift, now I had a chance to
use it and could compare this one with some affordable ones.

Claim:
An oil-free medium-to-full-coverage
liquid foundation that covers skin imperfections flawlessly while
remaining invisible on-screen and in real life. This
foundation creates a soft-focus effect, which is designed to meet the
coverage concerns of those in the spotlight. It leaves your complexion
with such a flawless finish, it can withstand bright or harsh lighting.

Ingredients:
-Relipidium: Moisturizes the skin (+46% after 4h).

-Fucogel: Forms a microfilm that prevents dehydration and protects against external aggression.
-Sericite: Enables rays of light to spread more widely intensifying the radiance of the complexion.

The package of this foundation looks so simple and sleek. I really like its pump, it makes easy to use.
Since it was a gift, the shade was a bit lighter on my skin- It didn't match my skin perfectly but still okay.

This foundation is a very light weight and fresh feeling, however, I found it leaves a little cakey look in the beginning and blends into skin later on. When i used tiny bit, it still covered red spots completely. It usually takes double amount of other foundations so I would say this HD foundation does good job on covering blemishes and red spots with small amount.

Pros:

Great coverage

Nice package

Usable pump on a bottle

Light weight

Looks great and flawless on-screen

Multiple shades you can choose from

Cons:

Pricey

I could see it stays in lines and wrinkles.

Looks a bit, tiny bit cakey in real life.

I would probably stick with my No7 Tinted Moisturizer & Maybelline's dream liquid mousse for everyday use and might use this foundation on special occasion where I need photo-shoot or need complete coverage.

Oh yeah I really recommend using a sample before buying the full-size one.I definitely agree with those who said looks good on-screen. It makes your skin look flawless and even toned but I think it's only made for photographs.. Not sure about it in person since it goes into every single lines and cracks and make it look cakey. xx

Now this looks really nice in the photos as to me it looks really light, I presume they do a good shade range? It is a shame that you found it cakey though as there is nothing worse than buying a new foundation only to find it cakes up on your skin.

I soooooo want this very badly! It looks like such an amazing foundation, and I think this shade would be perfect. I always do this haha.. but how do you get those red dashed boxes?! Your blog is incredible.. seriously my favourite blog ever to look at and read! xxx

I guess it was created just to be used in photography, not so much for everyday wear and that's too bad considering how great the coverage sounds : / Too pricey for me, I'm sticking to my beloved BBs for now. Thanks for the review though Grace ^^ xx

I was considering to try this before I read your review but by the sounds of it, its not for me as I sometimes go with no foundation to avoid the cakey look. Thank you! XPS feel free to take a look at my blog: http://savagegem.wordpress.com/
